An Olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. As she dives, kinetic energy becomes of her energy just before she hits the water.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field. In simple terms, it can be said that gravitational potential energy is an energy that is related to gravitational force or to gravity.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

When the high diver is standing stable and not moving , that diver has a gravitational potential energy because of the height . The moment she dives , before hitting the water , from being stationary she gained some momentum and come in motion , due to motion her gravitational potential energy will change to kinetic energy before hitting the ground.

In a closed system, the volume of a gas is not related to the volume of its enclosure.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

That's silly.  The volume of a gas is very intimately related
to the volume of its enclosure.  In fact, they're identical,
because a gas always expands to fill whatever you put it in.

dusya [7]

Answer:

\frac{r_i}{1.77} m

Explanation:

Given that

At starting separated = 1.20m

And the increase in background noise by Δβ = 5 dB, due to which the level of sound also rises

Based on the above information, the separation rf that is needed is shown below:

As we know that

I_f = I_o \times 10^{\frac{\beta}{10} }\\\\I_f = I_i \times 10^{0.5}\\\\I_f = 3.16 \times  I_i\\\\I \alpha \frac{1}{r^2} \\\\\frac{r_i^2}{r_f^2} = 3.16\\\\r_f = \frac{\sqrt{r_i^2}}{{\sqrt3.16}} \\\\= \frac{r_i}{1.77} m

Hence, the separation r_f i.e. required is  \frac{r_i}{1.77} m

We simply applied the above equation so that the correct separation could come

What type of heat do we get from sun
seraphim [82]
The type of heat that the Sun emits is called UV (Ultra Violet) rays. This is a natural type of heat, but it can also be dangerous if you expose yourself to too much UV heat, causing "sunburns", or even skin cancer.

A motionless mass, hung on the end of a spring and pulled 5 cm downward, is a height of 1 meter above the classroom floor. Is th
maxonik [38]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

After the mass is pulled, you have all three types of energy; potential, kinetic and elastic. Elastic as it has extension of the spring, potential energy as the mass is one meter above the ground level, and kinetic energy as the mass is in motion.

The following are the equations for calculating the different energies.

E_{elas}=0.5*k*x^2\\where:\\k = spring constant [N/m]\\x = distance [m]\\\\E_{pot} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass [kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation [m]\\\\E_{k}=0.5*m*v^2\\where:\\m= mass [kg]\\v = velocity [m/s]
